I am overwhelmed with competing emotions. First and foremost is hope which it has been so long since I have felt. I am also incredibly annoyed at myself for letting my weight get to this point. After all, I was able to stick to the presurgical diet--why couldn't I just somehow find a way to conquer my food demons. I am having a hard time seeing the big picture today but I guess that is to be expected after working a 10 hour day in blistering heat on nothing but 400 calories of Gatorade.

I really am happy to be moving forward. Myy husband is also having the procedure tomorrow in what I like to refer to it as two for the price of one.

I have been reading all of your posts for a while and am drawing strength from those who have walked this path before. I know I will be leaning on you and only hope that I can someday do the same for someone else. Thank you in advance for your good wishes and support.

You can do this! I wish both of you well and a fast recovery. The surgury gave you something that you didn't have before and that is hope. You can do this with the sleeve it is a wonderful tool to help people lose weight. Wish you the best and post as soon as you can.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
